REVIEW: Vaniday Benefit Cosmetics Brow Waxing @ Sephora Bugis+

~AG~

For some reason, brow waxing is not as popular in Singapore. When I lived in California, there were many options to go for brow waxing. I tried the Benefit Cosmetics Brow Bar at Ulta Beauty, Anastasia Brow Studio at Nordstrom and a local beauty salon. In my opinion, brow waxing is not as painful as threading or tweezing. Plus, brow waxing seems to better for my sensitive skin than threading. The only cons of brow waxing is that it takes a longer time than threading. A regular brow waxing will take 20-30 minutes while threading takes less than 10 minutes. As the strips of paper come in a standard size, it is difficult for 100% waxing to get the perfect brow. Not to worry, a professional eyebrow person will also tweeze some areas of the brows for more precision. 

Brow waxing by Benefit Cosmetics is done at almost all Sephora Singapore stores. It costs S$26 and takes about 20 minutes. There is some pros and cons of having the Benefit Brow Bar at Sephora stores. The biggest pro is that there are numerous Sephora stores in Singapore, so it is convenient for the customers. There are ten Benefit Brow Waxing Locations @ Sephora. The cons would be the waxing is done in an common area so there is no privacy. The seating is not as comfortable as you sit straight. It would be better if the seat could recline.

My review is for the brow waxing service at Sephora Bugis +. My eyebrow expert was Noli, and he is the only eyebrow expert at Sephora Bugis+. First off, Noli asked whether I had done brow waxing before and whether I was on any medication. Secondly, he asked about my preferred eyebrow shape. Before the waxing process, he tested a little wax on my hand. 

He worked on my left eyebrow first - carefully waxing the top, bottom and sides. Additionally, he also tweezed and used a scissor to trim the brows. After he was done with my left eyebrow, he showed me the finished look before moving on to the other brow. As there was one area which had an odd strand by itself, I asked him about it. He asked that if he removed that one strand, my left brow will not be the same length as my right brow. Without asking, he told me not to worry as he will show me how to fill in my brows later. After he was done with my right eyebrow, he cleaned up the waxed area and then applied aloe vera to soothe the skin. As my skin was red, he applied some powder before filling in my brows. He showed me an easy way to fill in the brows. Basically, you fill in the outline of your brows lightly and then blend the colors by using the spoolie brush.

As Vaniday had a 20% off promotion, the brow waxing costs only $20.80. What a good deal! I would recommend brow waxing at Sephora Benefit Cosmetics if you are looking for an alternative to threading and tweezing. The eyebrow expert, Noli, was highly skilled and professional. I especially like the after-care service. I would definitely come back to Sephora Benefit Cosmetics for brow waxing in the future.
